Search & Filter Pro – The Ultimate WordPress Filter Plugin

It allows you to Search & Filter your posts / custom posts / products by any number of parameters allowing your users to easily find what they are looking for on your site, whether it be a blog post, a product in an online shop and more.

WordPress meta data and taxonomy filters

Users can filter by Categories, Tags, Taxonomies, Custom Fields, Post Meta, Post Dates, Post Types and Authors, or any combination of these easily.

Features List

Create forms to search your posts, products, or any other custom post types in your site

Add WordPress meta data and taxonomy filters to your site

Drag and drop interface – makes building and editing forms so much easier

Use AJAX to display results! No page refreshes. Also power your pagination with Ajax

Modifies the main query, so displaying your results is easy

Display anywhere in your pages or themes using widgets or shortcodes

Create as many different search forms as you like

Available Fields:

Search

add a search input field to your forms to allow users to enter text – uses the same functionality as you current search box – this may be the default search behaviour or enhanced behaviour from other plugins such as Relevanssi

Works with Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) plugin – allows you to search with dropdowns, checkboxes, radio buttons and multiselect even where the meta value is serialized. Essentially, if you are using any of the Basic fields (not text area) or Choice fields then you can filter these in Search & Filter Pro. Date Picker is now also supported provided the date is stored as “yymmdd” as the save option with ACF.

Ryan C

Hi,
Is there an option to give each HTML element in the search form, a class and/or ID so they can be styled with CSS? In my case I’d like to give each radio button an icon representing the taxonomy (books, film etc.) so this would be very useful. Perhaps they could be generated automatically using the taxonomy name.
I had a look in the documentation but couldn’t find anything on this, apologies if it’s been mentioned elsewhere. Thanks!

Ross

Hey Ryan

You’re right its not been mentioned, I’m actually in the process of writing a lot documentation!

RE the classes, there is to some extent but its not complete actually… What I’ll do is I’ll make sure I get this feature included (it was always planned) in the next couple of days and ensure its all working properly for you to use.

What I suggest for you to do though is inspect the DOM and check the structure of the search form and make sure the dom structure is suitable for your needs and CSS modifications

Ross

Hey Jurgen, there is no money back if you simply do not like the plugin… The plugin works as advertised so make sure you see how it works from the video and the online demos.. Also check the features list to make sure it can do what you want it to do. If there are problems with the plugin then you can use the support forums and I will try to help you through any issues – if there is a bug with the plugin I will get this patched asap!

victor

Hi,

I have tried the free version of your plugin and it´s awesome!

I am making a website for events with my own custom post types and taxonomies. I want to implement an advanced search for events, and using your free version, users can search events among different taxonomies (categories, price, recommeded age or locations) but there´s no option to search by date.

I have created a custom field (a date field) for the events with Advance Custom Fields plugin, and I would like to allow users to filter by this meta data (event date) with a date range input, namely, search events between two dates.

Reading your feature list, I have seen you have this field (date range) for the Post Date but not for the Post Meta. Are you planning to indroduce this feature (date range input for post meta) in the future?

I was looking for an email contact or a pre-purchase contact, but I haven’t found any, that´s why I send you my questions as a commment.

Ross

Hey Victor yes I am planning on adding this for meta.

The problem (kindof) is that ACF doesn’t store the date variable in a good way – really it should use timestamp to save the date (like WP) but users are actually allowed to specify the date format for saving (as you probably know). I will add this feature so that it is compatible with ACF but I will need you to specify a specific save format in ACF ( YYYYMMDD )

Rai

Hi Ross,

it this feature ready all ready?.
As Victor I´m creating a plugin that introduce custom post types and special taxonomies for events and I need to filter by the dates of the events not for the dates of the publication, so my question is, what will be the best way to add the events date and then filter with your plugin?

Ross

Hey Rai, yeah it is Just check the features list above for date fields – you can use meta fields for ordering your results by dates that are not the publish date – just make sure it is stored in the database as YYYYMMDD – or as a timestamp!

Rai

Hi Ross,
You don´t know how happy I was yesterday when I find your plugin!, I was praying and searching for this solution and then I find it. One recommendation… I was looking on internet as Taxonomies Checkboxes at the beginning and I coul not find your plugin, then I re formulate my search and I look for “categorys as checkboxes filter wordpress” and I find your plugin, so if in anyway you can extend your keywords maybe more people will find your solution.

Ok, so about the metafields you mean to add it as a custom field? so I will need to add a Custom field for example “Start Date” and “End Date” and add values should be 20140814 like that?.

Ross

Rai

Hello Ross,
Yes, please tell me if I can help you with that in anyway, I was thinking why not to submited in any of the bundle markets as promotion for a short time so more people can know the product. AppSumo, BundleHunt, Mighty Deals and more are available for this. Also you can ask for help to people who is important in WordPress to see if they can give a try of your plugin and then if they can speak about it, you can give it to them for free so they can test it and then share it.

Konrad van Grinsven

I actually searched for Isotope and found nothing. Can’t remember how I stumbled across syour plugin but very glad I did! So that might be another search phrase to add to your description. Hope this helps! Great plugin so very happy to spread the word.

Alessio

Hi, if this is the plugin for me I’d buy it immediately, but I need to know one thing. The free version does everything I need except this: filtering results of the page I am in. I’ll explain better: I’m building a fashion shop, I added a custom gender taxonomy, I want to be able to filter the current page by gender. If, for instance, I’m on a page related to a certain brand, I need a men/women filter to filter exaclty the page I’m seeing. With the free version, if add the shortcode to the brands taxonomy template, select “men” and press the submit button, the result will by a page with the whole “men” taxonomy listed..

Ross

Alessio

Hi, unfortunately my site is still under maintenance mode, but I’ll try to explain better. I put the shortcode to have search&filter only filter the gender taxonomy. You cannot search anything, just select “men” or “women” and press submit. I would expect this to filter the products displayed in the page I put the code in, instead it filters the whole shop. lets says I’m viewing the “bags” category. I see the gender filter and expect it filter the “bags” category only, instead it acts as a search for the whole shop. I ‘m afraid I can’t explain any better than this..

Daniel Lewis

Ross

Hey Daniel, this plugin is still in its infancy (< 2 months) so haven’t got round to figuring all that out yet, I will however likely follow suit of many other great WP plugins out there and offer a % discount for renewals

Ross

Hey Christopher thats totally possible, but for you now you will have to not use Ajax (an update is coming soon for this) – you will also need to be somewhat familiar with your theme and be able to find the right template to use in order to display your results as you wish.

The plugin will not redirect to the shop page specifically, but a search results page, however you can use the same page template for the search results as your shop does so it should look the same!

1) Most important: How do I create Product attribute drop downs that filter and populate based on the variations in my product database? i.e: After choice 1 the second and third attribute drop down are filtered showing only attributes from products who ALL have choice 1 . That make sense?

Bob

Hello,

I’d like to buy your wonderful plugin but i’ve 2 pre sale questions first :
1. Can i create several search in order to use them in different sections of my site
2. i notice when you click on the navigation, it doesn’t scroll to the top of the list of content. Do you plan to fix it ?

Ross

Hey Bob, it does and it doesn’t Basically, there is a bug currently with using multiple widgets on the same page with Ajax enabled. If you disable ajax you can use as many of forms for different things as you like no problem, and for ajax, that fix will come but I can’t say how long – its a tricky one…

2. Is this from the demo, when you click search, the results refresh with ajax, but the page does not scroll up? Then if so yes this will be added – Intentionally did not want to force this on all the users however I think its a great addition so will make this an option that users can enable/disable.

bob

Thank you for your reply.

I just need a form by page, it’s not a problem. I wanted to know if i could create different several forms.

About the paging, when a user is at the bottom of a list and click “following” or a page number, i think it would be better to be redirected at the top at the list. It’s boring to use the scroll of the mouse to up.

Bob

Hi Ross,

I meant when i click on the bottom navigation (pagination 1, 2, 3, next), it doesn’t scroll up to the beginning of the content. It refreshes but we stay at the level of the pagination and the user have to scroll up manually to see the new content.
Best regards.

Ross

paul

Hi
Can the date pickers filter categories that are set up as dates and can it filter (or be adapted to filter) only those available on all the dates between the two date picker dates?
Thanks for info
Regs
Paul

I am considering purchasing the PRO version after trying the free version. I want to have a page where users sort posts by 3 dropdowns that are connected by AND. I have a few pre-purchase questions:

1. Can I build a search form with 3 dropdowns that each includes a specific list of categories, so that my site’s categories are split into 3 dropdowns? There are 3 main parent categories. Ex. Color, Size, Material. This would involve excluding categories from each field that would be included in the other categories of the same form.

2. Can I display All Posts when the user lands on the page, before any filtering has happened, and then have the filtered results replace them in the content area via Ajax?

Ross

Hey Kate

1) Unfortunately not, its 1 field type per taxonomy, or other data – but you cannot have multiple fields for the same values.. You can however use a checkbox/multiselect or combox (http://harvesthq.github.io/chosen/) which will allow your users to select multiple categories for search.

2) Yes this is possible, the landing page will be completely unfiltered, and once configured correctly you can have the results load in via ajax and replace the existing content – the only thing is that you must configure the search results template to use the same or similar page template as the unfiltered results page

Pre-purchase question: I’ve tried the free and was wondering if it’s possible to have the form in a horizontal layout. I would like to have text in-between each dropdown.. e.g.: Show me posts from [dropdown taxonomy1] and [dropdown taxonomy2] and [dropdown taxonomy3] [Submit button]

Is that possible?

It works well with my custom post type, but have heard that it is not compatible with Fundify’s campaigns, even though you are compatible with Easy Digital Downloads. Is that because of the way that Fundify saves it’s custom fields? Is there a way to make this possible at all?

Ross

Hey Karl

Thanks for the message, in terms of styling, you can style it how you want with CSS, it is just an unordered list – which you can arrange in the way you describe above – I can help you get setup with this.

RE the fundify campaigns, it is not officially supported/unsupported – its just untested.

EDD uses a custom post type for your campaigns/products etc etc – this plugin allows you to search the custom post type no problem, and you can add a number for fields – its just atm I cannot guarantee whether this plugin will seamlessly integrate with that theme as I know it makes some modifications to EDD….

I will check it out for sure at some stage and update the docs to reflect this but I do not know about this compatibility right now :/

Thanks for your reply. I’ve figured out the css and got the display working well now. What I think the issue with Fundify may be, is that it doesn’t store it’s meta data in regular custom fields, but rather as an array within one field. For example, when the template wants to display the campaign goal, it calls backers_count(); ?>. It works similarly for all the other metadata

It would be nice to be able to access this somehow and filter all campaigns with a goal of less than 2000 etc, or display campaigns that have more than 75% funded. Do you know of a way to get the plugin to search those ‘subfields’?

Ross

Charley

Hello!

Pre-order inquiry here:

I have a list of categories each with sub-categories. Is there a way to show hierarchy when categories are listed in a pull-down menu or as radio buttons? Your free version ignores hierarchy and puts all categories without indentation, so users cannot distinguish categories from sub-categories. I would also like control over the order in which categories are listed.

Charley

Yes both the free and pro versions allow for hierarchy. Thanks for clarifying that.

I love your plugin and I’m going to go ahead and buy the Pro version. Do you provide support for Pro users?

Couple other questions: when using radio buttons is it possible to specify which categories will have radio buttons and which won’t and just appear as text?
Also, is it possible to change the spacing between lines?

Ross

When choosing to have a category filter, you can choose to have your categories as radio, checkbox, select, combobox, however you cannot have two seperate dropdowns for one taxonomy or category.

For each taxonomy, category or tag, you may choose one input type, and you can choose any of the inputs I just listed

Basically, you cannot have 1 field type multiple times, so you may only display a category once, or a specific taxonomy once, but you can choose from any of the types I mentioned, or check the features list to see all the options you have available

Breon Williams

Great plugin! I do have an issue with the ajax. My search works fine when ajax is turned off. But when I turn ajax on and search my post fade slightly as if they are going to filter but nothing happens. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Ross

Bastien

Hi Ross,

Your plugin looks amazing. I just tried the demo and it seems to make everything I need. Impressive work!

But I have a question, maybe not related exactly to your plugin, but to his use for woocommerce. For a client, I need to display different forms of filters depending on the categories and subcategories.

An example:
– I select the dogs category. I have a form with 4 filters : brand, breed, color, shape.
– if I select not just dogs but the sub category “dogs -> food”, the filters will be different. A form with 6 filters with not the same content in the filters.
– If I select the category “cats”, it will display another one
– …

Do you know if it’s easy to do that with your plugin ? I don’t know if it’s possible with woocommerce to display a custom widget area for a specific category or subcategory.

Ross

Hey Bastien, the plugin does not do that yet This has been in the work for some time but its very difficult to get just right without adding a lot more processing to your install each time a user changes a form… Its planned but its a big job so may not be ready until the next major release.

You can of course create different forms for searching different content throughout your site Let me know if you have any other questions.

charlotte oates

Ross

Hey Charlotte

Actually I have been looking at an affiliate plugin for a while however I simply don’t have time to get this set up at the moment – plus potentially (its kinda the idea) I would get many more sales which also means I would need to be prepared to handle a larger volume of support – so until I think I’m ready to do this I won’t be adding this just yet… But thanks for the interest and I’ll let you know once I get set up – in a month or so I will likely find some more time to be able handle larger volumes of support requests which means I may get that setup

Ross

Yes, well, currently you can supply category IDs to exclude, which means you can control the visibile categories – in the future you will be able to include categories too which I think is what you are really looking for?

Ross

Markus

Hi Ross,

is it possible to filter categories with 3 dropdown boxes (all AND-linked) ?
Example:
[cities] [locations] [events]
All three dropdown-boxes are categories with sub-categories.
Is this possible with Search & Filter ?
Thanks for your reply…

Ross

Damien

Just a simple question. Does this plugin allow ordering the search results by an ACF field. I know this supports ACF but not sure if it can sort by it as well. I want to have a drop down list so the users can select to sort by price high to low or by suburb which price and suburb are ACF fields.

Ross

Hey Damien

It does support sorting by meta field, which is the same as an ACF field, so yes it is supported but limited to the current sorting types:

Alphabetic- the meta values are treated as a string and sorted alphabetically
Numeric – the meta value is treated as a whole integer and sorted numerically – this means that the values stored has to be a whole number and not with digits (this means it supports values like “1234” but currently not “12.34”

This is coming though in a future update.

It also supports sorting by date, but this is essentially the same as numeric if date is stored YYYYMMDD or as a unix timestamp

Ross

Charley

Thanks Ross! Great service and a great plugin.

Got another quick question. Is there a way to add a search field that accepts a zip code, and in the results the user can see how many miles each result is from the entered zip code? This would really help with location searches.

Will

Hi. I’m really interested in buying your plugin. I’ve purchased two similar plugins from Codecanyon that so very nearly achieve what I am looking to achieve but don’t quite make it.

I’m designing a property website using the Avada theme. I am looking for a plugin that will allow me to place a horizontal search form on the homepage that brings up search results on a separate page. On this separate search results page, I then want to give the user the option to filter their initial homepage search in the sidebar.

Ross

I know that there is a drop down option for the sorting result. Right now when I click search the results as Z – A. Is there a way to make them appear A – Z automatically without having to put the Sort by option?

Ross

Noel Javier

Hey Ross,

Sweet looking plugin! I had a couple of quick questions before buying:

1. If I buy the single site license and like it, can I upgrade to the multi-site with the discount from the single license?
2. I am mainly interested in the AJAX feature, ie how it displays posts in your movies demo. Is there a place/file where I can edit the template of how the posts display? For example, move the thumbnail above the title and add a background image for the excerpt, etc.?
3. I am assuming you can style the css for those posts? If so is it just in your style.css file?
4. I need a drop down filter for categories and another filter showing “ALL” or a specific quantity of posts is that possible?
5. I tried to purchase the plugin, logged in and registered, but got a strange message from paypal twice:
“Sorry — your last action could not be completed
If you were making a purchase or sending money, we recommend that you check both your PayPal account and your email for a transaction confirmation after 30 minutes.
If you came to this page from another website, please return to that site (don’t use your browser’s Back button) and restart your activity.
If you came from PayPal’s website, click the PayPal logo in the upper-left corner to return to our home page and restart your activity. You might have to log in again.”

Is there any way I can buy this from a direct link or some other link other than your website’s cart?

Ross

Hey Noel

To answer your questions:

1) There is currently no upgrade path – but I’m working on improving our backend systems to allow this in the future
2) Yup you can edit template files for different search forms to customise your results
3) Yes CSS all the way
4) Not quite sure what you mean here?
5) What is the status of this? If you tried to pay then you have an account here – open a ticket the support forums http://www.designsandcode.com/support/

Ross

I am looking for a search tool for WooCommerce that can be displayed on all pages. The default one only shows on the shop page but I need it on all pages. The demo on this page for Woocommerce also seems to only show on the main shop or search pages. Would it be possible to show on all pages?

Ross

Jason

I’ve just come across your plugin and it looks great, but before I purchase it I have a quick question.

Can the search terms be updated with ajax, so if you select an option from one dropdown it would update the available options on the others? For example using your movie review demo, just say I selected horror from genre, film certification would only show R and PG and the others wouldn’t display.

Ross

You can search any custom field, as long as it is stored in the correct way – which is using post_meta – it is best practice to have data non serialised as in some cases serialised data cannot be searched (this is not a limitation of this plugin, just of limitation of searching serialised data in general via a database).

Ross

How would I add a custom JS loader into this plugin. You can tell when ajax is running a request when jobs are been filtered. But on first load it looks like a delay when its actually running 0.5 opacity on no content if that makes sense.

If you could kick me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.

Fred

Is it possible to have certain search elements dynamically change? For instance: I have product pages for television. I want to look for a 30inch tv from Philips. I want to display a number next to each checkbox to show how many products are in that category. But the moment I check ‘Philips’, I want the numbers of all other categories to change to match the number of televisions with the checked specifications and the Philips brand.

Fred

Hi,

Do you have documentation on Woocommerce implementation? I have managed to set up a filter that displays store products, but those are displayed in a basic search results list and doesn’t include prices, shopping carts, etc. I’d like to have something that looks like Demo 2. I’m pretty new to all this, so I have no idea how to continue from here.

Ross

Chandrika

Hello,
I am new to word press and have a requirement of a custom search. I am looking for:

1. Search pages, my site has pages and not posts.
2.4 sets of check boxes that. All the text in the check boxes are part of of he page content.
3.Mine is an multi-site and I need a custom search on one site only.

I installed the plugin and I do not see the search & filter settings. I do not have categories/tags/taxonomies. I am stuck at start. I do not mind buying the pro version if it will work.
Any help is appreciated,
Best Regards,
Chandrika

Fred

Greg

Hi there.

We want to create a public form. Every visitor can fill in his informations (some of this are “filter arguments”). The user can save the form. After this step, a new post is created. Now, every visitor of the website can filter this posts. Therefore, we need the possibility to set custom fields / values of your plugin. Is there a API or an access trough the code of your plugin to set this custom fields / values?

Then, User Mary searches for “Los Angeles” and “Knitting” to find other registered users who live in LA and who are interested in knitting. She finds out Sally is a match.

Would that be possible? If so, how do users fill out a form? Can I search their extended profiles using Search Filter Pro, or does SFP only search information received through a new post type? As you can see, I’m a little confused. New to post types, fairly new to pretty much everything WordPress–but not for long!

Ross

Hey Melynda

This plugin searches posts (and custom post types) – so if your users had a custom post type assigned to them will all this data then no problem (the data would likely be custom fields/post meta – which this plugin can do), but it cannot search a native WP user itself.

Mike

Hi Ross. Great looking plugin and very interested in purchasing it. Sorry if this is obvious but I just have a question about using it with Easy Digital Downloads. I want to create customs taxonomies within EDD as well as using their existing download_category/tags and wanted to be sure these are fully usable and searchable with your plugin?
Many thanks

Ross

Craig MacIntyre

Hello,

Is it possible to have the choices limited in a dropdown menu by a selection in the previous dropdown? If the search is used to select a product that is only available in a specific community, I would like to have a search function that drills down ie Type of Program>State>County>Community. In other words, a dynamically generated, taxonomy, dropdown search function.

Jatin Patel

In my product listing there is a option to download each product info. by clicking Download Button but after Fill contact form in POPUP.

I use Contact Form 7, so i add a shortcode in popup for that.

When first time page loads and i click on download button it shows contact form, but when i navigate to another page using “search filter pro ” pagination then i click on download button it shows CONTACT FORM 7 Short code.

Nikola

Most of the plugins can filtering by range slider only prices of the products. Your filter plugin can filtering product attributes (taxonomies) with digits by range slider? I need checkboxes, drop-down lists and most important! range sliders!
thanks

Mike

Ross, is there an old free version that I can have a play around with? I’m currently setting up a stock photo site and would like to get an idea of what it can do before I purchase. I’ve tried your demos and they look good but I want to see how it works with my site. I also want to wait until your next version if it has the dynamically updating options when filtering.

WKrooshof

Ross

Hey both, unfortunately there is no demo version, and the free version of the plugin is pretty far behind what the pro can do these days. I plan to add a live demo (incl admin access) to this site in the coming months.

Wouter Krooshof

I bought the addon yesterday.

I’ve got one request though, I would like to display the parent taxonomies in the dropdowns, not the children. I’m trying to create a page where the children will be displayed in a seperate dropdown (based on the choice of the parent dropdown)

Ross

Yacine

Hello,
Some presale questions :

1. Is it possible to display chained drop downs custom taxonomies ?
2. It it possible to put “order by” drop down at the top of results search (not in the sidebar search form) ?
3. Is it possible for range search to search between 1 and 10+ (10 and more) ?
4. Can the default search field be autocomplete ?
5. Is it easy to redesign search resuts page ?
6. Is it possible to uopgrade from Single site license to Developer License ?

Ross

Hey Yacine, these are all very good questions!

1. Chained is not yet possible but I’m aiming to have this in the next major release (in a month)
2. This is also part of the next release – we’re releasing v2.0 which is a large update
3. This is not yet possible (10+) – there must be a finite start and end number
4. This is not yet possible but I plan to add it in
5. Its the same as customising a page in your theme – such as an archive page – so if you are able to do that then no problem (you specify the template you wish to use for displaying results)
6. This is not yet possible, but I hope to have this available once we have finished our new site (after the plugin 2.0 release)

i would like to purchase the search and filter pro to recreate a sidebar category filter system similar to http://www.dunelondon.com/shoes-deptsale_3101/. Can you let me know if this can be done using your plugin as i need to buy asap. Thanks in advance

Ross

Hi Lee – without knowing exactly how it works – it seems that you could create a filter system very similar – you would of course need to be comfortable with HTML/CSS etc in order to get it looking how you want.

Daniel

hi, I really wanted to buy this plugin… but u have only PayPal option to pay u… why? Is there another way to buy your plugin or pay u by credit card… I dont have PayPal .. cose I dont like PayPal… so I dont want to create another account just for one payment… please do something !

Ross

Did you know you can pay with credit card via PayPal, without a PayPal account? Just go to the paypal payment screen and you will see a second option – many people do not know about this feature but its been there for such a long time!

Daniel Biedrzycki

Ross

Hey Daniel – do you not see this – http://snag.gy/t8BxJ.jpg – for me it does not require any paypal registration but perhaps different in your region? I will be adding another payment gateway which will handle card payments directly in the next month. Thanks

Daniel Biedrzycki

probably some diffrences in PayPal in Poland.. but I cant see your BRco7.jpg (error 404) so I’m not sure
thanks anyway for your help.. Paypal account created, no just need a time for confirmation of my credit card

Clockmancy

Ross

Hey there – yes it is possible to do that and its pretty easy – its built in to the UI – there is a settings box, where you can hide posts/pages/custom post types by ID, and then there is also another screen where you can include/exclude tags, categories and taxonomies from your search results

… but submitting a search with the selectors showing All Categories+All Tags brings up everything including all pages and posts on the site. Can you please tell me how I can I restrict an ‘unfiltered’ search to my two fields?

Ross

Yacine

Bertrand Jame

You guys made my day, great plugin ! I only wish I could have found it earlier… Not sure if you’re planning on writing more awesome stuff like this one but I will definitely keep an eye on your website. Don’t settle for anything less than this little gem !

New - for Ajax w/ Shortcodes - Added results URL - this allows the widget to be placed anywhere in your site

New - shortcode meta box - for easier access to shortcodes within the Search Form editor

New - allow auto submit when ajax is not enabled

New - shareable/bookmarkable URLs when using shortcodes (this was already available without)

Fixed - an issue with auto submit

Fixed - an issue with a significant delay to fetch initial results when using ajax (with shortcode) - initial results are now loaded server side on page load

Fixed - bad html and "hide_empty" was not working as expected - it was disabling inputs rather than hiding them

Fixed - i18n for "prev" and "next" in pagination

Fixed - post date field was not working correctly when using ajax w/ shortcodes

Improved - integration with WPML - better URLs and works fully with shortcodes

Removed - *Beta* Auto Count - this feature is likely to be even more broken (it had plenty of bugs already) - it is recommended you disable this for now. The next major update will inlcude a revised & working version of this.

Added new settings panel - set defaults and search parameters

Settings Panel - include/exclude categories

Settings Panel - exclude posts by ID

Settings Panel - choose to search by Post Status

Settings Panel - Added Results Per Page for controlling the number of results

New - add new way to modify the main search query for individual forms

1.1.7(24th June 2014)

New - *beta* - Auto count for taxonomies - when using tag, category and taxonomies only in a search form, you can now enable a live update of fields, which means as users make filter selections, unavailable combinations will be hidden (this is beta and would love feedback especially from users with high numbers of posts/taxonomies)

New - date picker for custom fields / post meta - dates must be stored as YYYYMMDD or as timestamps in order to use this field

New - added JS events to capture start / end of ajax loading so you can add in your own custom loaders

Fix - prefixed taxonomy and meta field names properly - there were collisions on the set defaults function, for example if a tax and meta share the same key there would be a collision

Fix - errors with number ranges & range slider

Fix - an error with detecting if a meta value is serialized

Fix - scope issue with date fields auto submitting correctly

1.1.6(12th June 2014)

**Notice** - dropped - `.postform` css class this was redundant and left in by error - any users using this should update their CSS to use the new and improved options provided:

New - class names added to all field list items for easy CSS styling + added classes to all options for form inputs for easy targeting of specific field values

New - added a `<span class="sf-count">` wrapper to all fields where a count was being shown for easy styling

Fix - removed all reference to `__DIR__` for PHP versions < 5.3

Fix - Some general tweaks for WPML

Fix - a bug when choosing all post types still adding "post_types" to the url

1.1.5(3rd June 2014)

**Notice** - this update breaks previous Sort Order fields, so make sure if you have a Sort Order Field to rebuild it once you've updated!

New - Sort Order - in addition to sorting by Meta Value, users can now sort their results by ID, author, title, name, date, date modified, parent ID, random, comment count and menu order, users can also choose whether they they want only ASC or DESC directions - both are optional.
